11:30 pm
hello. thanks forjoining me. let us get a check on the weather for the next few days. i'm sure you are wondering what is installed. it has been so unsettled in the last couple of days. many of us have had a good dose of rain and, guess what, the weekenders looking unsettled. particularly windy weather on their way for southern parts of the uk. all thanks to this low pressure which has been impacting grants, stormy conditions, disruptive weather. the weather front has been reaching the uk and the low pressure will march across the uk during the course of saturday, sending some really strong winds out of the west. this is what it looks like on saturday, the centre of the low at this stage is in the north sea and around it, wrapping around, plenty of showers, a lot of cloud, and strong gusts of wind. on the south coast i would not be surprised if they are higher than 50 mph. at least a0 inland. a blustery day with some sunshine, but occasional showers. the brightest of the weather will be where we have the
11:31 pm
strongest gusts. across more southern parts of the uk. more frequent showers across the north—east. if you want some better weather, the good news is that it does look as though things will calm down as we head into sunday. you see that windy low pressure moves out into scandinavia and behind it the weather opens up a little bit. they wind stay down and there will be more sunshine around. out of the two, saturday and sunday, sunday is your best bet for decent weather. not dry. there is a risk of showers across western and northern areas of the uk. probably further east is where we will find the dry and sunny weather. sunday night into monday, the weather looks like it will bring rain. first thing on monday we could catch rain across east anglia. this isa catch rain across east anglia. this is a small area of rain, initially. whether it is further north. the further north you are the better the weather is going to be. some showers
11:32 pm
looking around. this is monday night into tuesday. we have high pressure here and low pressure to the south. normally at this time of year it is the other way around. that is why it is so unsettled across southern areas of the uk. once again, a weather front stretching from eastern england across the midlands into the south. to the north, where we are closer to the high, better weather for scotland and northern ireland. you can see the high pressure family in charge, though still -- pressure family in charge, though still —— close to iceland. quite a noticeable weather front bringing heavy rain to yorkshire, midlands, wales, clearing away at some point on the day on wednesday from the south—east. it is very unsettled. why is it so unsettled? this is the jet stream pattern. i have highlighted it with the arrows. look how it meanders to the north and back down to the south stop where we get these troughs that is where we
11:33 pm
get these troughs that is where we get low pressure forming. uk happens to be in one of the troughs. the reason we see this meandering of the jet stream is because of the heat that has established itself across some central and eastern parts of europe. this is what drives the jet stream. the cooler air here and the warmer ad towards is to have. it gives that meandering pattern to the jet stream. later next week it will probably turn drier and a bit warmer. this is bbc news. we will be looking at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first of all the headlines. tory leadership hope for michael gove admits he did cocaine more than 20 years ago. he says he does not believe past mistakes should disqualify him from leading the party. look at me, look at me. how dare you. academy award winner olivia olivia colman and boy scout bear
11:34 pm
g rylls olivia colman and boy scout bear grylls amongst the names on the queen's birthday honours list. three people have died in an outbreak of listeria given to and ijust patient in prepackaged food. two women beaten up on a london bus say it was a homophobic attack. police have arrested four boys between the ages of 15 and 18. i am feeling like the violence is not only because we are women which are dating each other, it is also because we are women. hello and welcome to look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kevin schofield, at her of politics home, and benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a and resident of the foreign association.
11:35 pm
lots of front pages are in already, the front of the male first which is reporting that michael gove has admitted to taking cocaine several times when he was younger more than 20 years ago. the conservative leadership candidate says it was a mistake. the sun is leading with that sane confession, claiming that michael gove took the drug several times. in the times, labour with reports of a fresh anti—semitism around —— row around the first elected peterborough mp. the independent leading with sally challen's manslaughter conviction. the ft weekend ellipse is a lovely picture of olivia common on the front page of a guardian who is on the queen's birthday honours list,
11:36 pm
she will be made a cbe. and prince charles on the front page of the telegraph, he had been speaking of his deep fears over the destruction of the national wealth. the prince is the loss of illogical diversity terrifies him. and finally on the front page of the male —— mirror, the police officer who caught a road rage killer says the woman who helped him out of his or her life. the big story that has been breaking in the last few hours is this daily mailfront page, michael in the last few hours is this daily mail front page, michael gove's cocaine confession, he had a p pa re ntly cocaine confession, he had apparently given a statement saying he admitted taking cocaine more than 20 years ago before he was married. how damaging is this to michael gove? i don't see this being terribly damaging, i suppose it is a bit embarrassing, it is not something they would have wanted at this stage in the leadership campaign, his campaign team. i think it is maybe, if he was making it to the final two and a ballot of members where it would go against him. that's said it he was up against borisjohnson, him. that's said it he was up against boris johnson, boris johnson admitted into thousand eight that he
11:37 pm
took cocaine as a young man, so perhaps it won't be an issue at all. but certainly is a very interesting story. it has come from a biography him that will be published soon by journalist alan bennett which reveals that in 2016 when he lasted the tory leadership, he was in the discussion with aids and things that might come up, and they asked him if he had taken drugs, he said yes, cocaine, did not cover the time because he fell out of the race quite early. i think this time expects to go a bit further. this is not what they would have wanted, the front page of the daily mail, but —— before next week, but he has had to face up with it and had it come out. the question of how much of a private past anyone is allowed in politics has been key, hasn't it. in terms of who comes into politics, that put people off if you can't have a past that is going to
11:38 pm
eventually catch up with you. didn't —— to some people get away with things others don't? yes to all the above. people complain about the fa ct above. people complain about the fact that politicians are out of touch, that they haven't had a life, a "real life" before going into politics, or what michael gove is saying is that this was when he was working as a journalist, he says "i didn't imaginel working as a journalist, he says "i didn't imagine i would go into politics and public service, i didn't act with an eye to that." and then of course he adds" obviously it will be for my colleagues in parliament and members of the conservative party to decide now if i should be leader. i think all politicians have lies before politics. " politicians have lies before politics." rory stewart admitted to taking drugs, boris johnson. .. who else? clearly taking drugs, boris johnson. .. who else ? clearly now taking drugs, boris johnson. .. who else? clearly now all 11, we make up to 12 candidates, we will see by monday if penny wharton decides to join... but clearly —— clearly the question for everyone, what other
11:39 pm
skeletons in your cupboard, as far as drugs are concerned, and of course i would imagine that the liberal democrats, will be asking the question as well. kevin, what about other skeletons in cupboards, one was my private life, whether you had affairs, et cetera, there has been lots of skeletons... lovechilds, borisjohnson is famously criticised for his lack of... scruples perhaps. famously criticised for his lack of... scruples perhapslj famously criticised for his lack of... scruples perhaps. ithink it depends, something like this, should not disobey you from my office, i think as a society i think we may be a bit more relaxed about the type of thing, we accept that, and if you are still doing it now while trying to make important decisions is different. when it comes to things like infidelity, that leads to the question about a person's carrick and whether or not... integrity, trust... and whether or not... integrity, trust. . . and and whether or not... integrity, trust... and whether that should be
11:40 pm
an issue that prevents them from becoming prime minister. whereas you know in a moment of weakness or several moments of weakness, according to michael gove, he took cocaine as a young man. i don't think given it was such a long time ago, i don't think that should necessarily prevent you from coming... he is a front-runner, him, jeremy hunt, dominic raabe, other big names, we will see how the other names sha keout, big names, we will see how the other names shakeout, do you think this admission will benefit some of those other rivals —— rivals? admission will benefit some of those other rivals -- rivals? will they have to see if they have done it as well, or other drugs. now everybody needs to admit whether they have or haven't. they will be asked. what is clear is that michael gove is at pains to say that it was a mistake, he does not want to glorify this and he does not want to glorify this and he makes the point that it was on several occasions but it was 20 years ago, and he did not know he was going to go into politics. now
11:41 pm
there needs to be a level playing field, everyone needs to come out of the 11 or possibly 12 candidates, and that is even before the vote has started taking place. and kevin you made the point earlier on, i think there is a big difference between what fellow tory mps will decide, and those two names that go forth. if michael gove is one of them, what tory members will be, how they will perceive that, and how that will go down with them. perhaps michael gove won't be so happy as far as his image is concerned with the wider electorate, he needs to make it through... otherwise they get a say on who the next prime minister is. we should just say that in the book it says that he believes he performed a public service by actually saying that boris johnson backin actually saying that boris johnson back in 2016 was not prime ministerial material, and he has refused in —— in an interview now to say that if he was elected prime
11:42 pm
minister, and became tory leader, whether he would have borisjohnson in his cabinet. so interesting to watch how this all plays out. we we re watch how this all plays out. we were talking about how with boris johnson, it is kind of pricing already, those admissions are already, those admissions are already out there. and some people are more teflon than others. let's move are more teflon than others. let's m ove o nto are more teflon than others. let's move onto the daily telegraph and someone does not have to fight for his place, prince charles.|j someone does not have to fight for his place, prince charles. i don't think he will ever be asked if he has taken cocaine. he is talking about the natural world and his fears, he has officially been known for many years, his concerns about conservation and organic farming... which has become mainstream. this is an issue he has pursued for decades now. he has given an interview to the telegraph magazine to mark the 25th anniversary of the highgrove house royal garden that he created,
11:43 pm
obviously who has gardened it in an environmentally friendly way, and he says he is terrified about the future of the planet that we are leaving to our successes. it is not just speculation as to whether he would discuss the climate change question with trump. —— there was lots of speculation. i watched the interview with trump, he was interesting how he was pressed repeatedly about whether he had discussed it, and president trump seem to be blurring the lines much more about what he might conclude from that. we won't hold our breath. he is still not happy with the paris accord. given the fact that president trump is well known for changing his mind quite quickly, if you look at the qualities at the time after speaking to prince charles, he said prince charles" wa nts future
11:44 pm
charles, he said prince charles" wants future generations to have a good climate as opposed to a disaster". that is a pretty watery endorsement of prince charles's views. i would endorsement of prince charles's views. iwould not, as endorsement of prince charles's views. i would not, as you say, hold my breath for president trump to run to the rescue of... but prince charles is the change is happening, but it is as it is happening too slowly stop —— he says. but it is as it is happening too slowly stop -- he says. once they we re slowly stop -- he says. once they were the telegraph and move onto the main which is damewood for cbi cheat who spread project fear. this is the royal honours they were announced about an hour royal honours they were announced aboutan hourago, royal honours they were announced about an hour ago, and they have taken a very political line on it. —— chief. taken a very political line on it. -- chief. they have gone for the chief executive of cbi, saying she was the architect of one of the so—called "project fear" during the referendum that warned about economic disaster, job losses... and we have seen many companies pulling out of the uk, rejection is down.
11:45 pm
where we to vote for exit, it was... they got a quote from pretty p resa le, was... they got a quote from pretty presale, jacob rees mogg, seven of the last nine heads of the cbi, way before brexit, was even thought of, have all been knighted, including a leading brexiteer, harold davis, sir john banham, trying to make the link between the remain campaign in the referendum and the fact that... to be fairto to be fair to dame carolyn fairbairn, john allen, the president of the cba, so she is a great asset. he says she and all of the cbi have
11:46 pm
been unstinting in presenting the evidence based business voice —— cbi. she has been a very vocal person with brexit and who should be leading the tory party as well. the next story we want to look at is on the front page of the daily express. it is the story we have been leading on this evening. sally challen's case. it is absolutely tragic this whole case. you are right. the whole case is sad. it is a good outcome and it is pleasing that she has been released. we saw the press conference with her family and they are obviously incredibly relieved she is coming home. the express headline, "i killed my husband but they still love him". when you heard her say that it was actually well. miss him and is still love him. -- wow. she was in this controlling,
11:47 pm
coercive relationship before she finally snapped for a0 years. it is incredible to think she has been in jailfor nine years incredible to think she has been in jail for nine years and yet she still misses the man who made her life, obviously, a bit unbearable. she has two sons, who very movingly we re she has two sons, who very movingly were fighting for her freedom. they said they had gotten their mother back. this is a landmark case. think it isa back. this is a landmark case. think it is a landmark case also in the sense that this highlights something that, unfortunately, thousands of women, particularly, but they will be some men as well, are living. it is the reality. i think some people will feel heartened, not that that is encouraging them to bludgeon there, you know, spouses or partners, but will perhaps give the courage of some people to think this is not ok and there is help out there. sol is not ok and there is help out there. so i think this is very important. but it doesn't make for easy reading. not at all. it
11:48 pm
highlights the very difficult situation that people find themselves, domestic abuse, et cetera, does not always get the attention of the resources that it needs in terms of helping people in trouble. we are going to look to something totally positive now. certainly for women's football. tonight the women's world cup has begun. i tonight the women's world cup has begun. lam tonight the women's world cup has begun. i am very happy to say that the french team are favourites. always very dangerous to be favourites. we have done remarkably well. they got a—o, it would have been 5—0 but for the va are, i believe a certain scottish team is playing against england on monday evening stop the competition has just begun. but the big game... what you mean the big—game?! just begun. but the big game... what you mean the big-game?! scotland versus england. you can tell from a accent which t—mobile be supporting.
11:49 pm
do you watch women's sport? —— which t—mobile be supporting. do you watch women's sport? —— which t—mobile be supportinglj do you watch women's sport? —— which t-mobile be supporting. i will definitely be following the scotland tea m definitely be following the scotland team through it. it is amazing how it has grown in popularity and fever have invested an awful lot of money to try to bring up to parity, certainly parity in terms of the coverage it gets with the men's game. why does women's sport not generate the same excitement, despite everyone trying their best? well, years of having men playing football. i have two boys. they have got to confess, it is hard to get them interested. they are cricket fans, actually. they are utterly obsessed with world cup cricket at the moment. i am sure your very same boys, if they saw a girl that was playing really good cricket are really good foot poll, would just... iam not really good foot poll, would just... i am not sure. that is something different then. you say there is a
11:50 pm
resistance who are they getting that from? not from me. definitely not from? not from me. definitely not from me. there is a change the culture. when i went to school, a long time ago... it would not even have been a possibility. girls and boys just have been a possibility. girls and boysjust did have been a possibility. girls and boys just did not play. we were not interested in them playing with us and they were not interested in playing with us. now they have a daughter at school and they are encouraged to play with the boys, football. will they know the stars, will there be names people will follow? the women's world cup, it is properly getting front page coverage. it is on prime time tv. yes, think it could be a breakthrough. the stories are emerging. they saw a report on the bbc. as we put faces and names to exploits that will become more of a reality. we have seen in india that you get certain stories and people who win massive medals and people
11:51 pm
just take them up. and again, just go back to scotland, if you don't mind, the men's team have not been terribly successful for the past 20 yea rs, terribly successful for the past 20 years, but the women's team are actually. actually qualified for the world cup which is something the men's team haven't done since 1998. there is definitely more of an interest in that in that regard. at hamden there were 18,000 for a women's game. you would never have got that even five years ago, probably. things are changing. my children are in bed but they can watch this on catch up and listen to your advice. thank you both very much. we will see you very soon. it was great fun. you can catch up with all the front pages online, of course, on the website, seven days a week@bbc.com —— seven days a week.
11:52 pm
at bbc .com. thank you very much. good night. good evening. i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes — here with here's your latest sports news. the women's world cup is under way in france. it's the biggest ever with nearly a million tickets sold and the hosts got their tournament off to the best possible start with a a—0 victory over south korea in paris. patrick gearey reports. in scale and as practical, france promised to host women's football greatest show. a tournament that will matter long after the music stops and the smoke clears. that ta kes stops and the smoke clears. that takes planning, including on the pitch. runs among the favourites, especially when up against south korea. you's way. the opening goal of the world cup finals of 2019. the scorer their biggest star. a beginning so perfect it was almost
11:53 pm
choreographed. almost. of course, football is not a predictable game and even when you score you are not entirely sure. france thought they had a second but this is the first women's tournament to use va are. this was its first use. the decision, somewhat belatedly, offside. a minor delay to the french. they have in their number wendie renard, a six foot on the tallest play in the tournament. an altitude beyond any south korean. we saw an aerial encore. head and shoulders above. just like her team. for a time shoulders above. just like her team. fora time in shoulders above. just like her team. for a time in the second half it seemed they were too comfortable. rennard out —— allowed south korea a fleeting moment. it pays all —— past all too quickly. many of this french side played club football for leon, the dominant team. among them the captain who goes by the name henri. the goal already feels like a defining one. hosting tournaments
11:54 pm
weighs heavy on some sites. france, however, are owning their stage. patrick geary, bbc news. england play scotland on sunday. well, there are also plenty of european qualifiers taking place this weekend. tomorrow wales take on the czech republic and scotland play cyprus. and tonight, the republic of ireland drew 1—1 with denmark in copenhagen. goalless for most of the game, southampton's pierre—emile hojbjerg opened the scoring minutes after coming off the bench. and just when it looked like ireland were heading for defeat, shane duffy scored in the 85th minute to make it 1—1. ireland are top of group d. chelsea have confirmed this evening that they're agreed a deal to sell edin hazard to real madrid. just over a week since hazard helped chelsea win the europa league, the belgian international will now be on his way to spain subject to a medical. real haven't revealed the fee but it's reportedly nearly £89 million and could rise to £150 million. that would be a chelsea club record. jo konta says she has no regrets after another grand slam semi—final defeat. she'd become the first briton
11:55 pm
to reach the last four of the french open since 1983 but missed out on the final after losing to the czech teenager marketa vondrousova. konta was a break up in the first set but went on to lose it and the same happened in the second, losing it on a tie—break to the vondrousova. the 19—year—old will play australia's ashleigh barty in tomorrow's final in which we'll see another first time winner crowned at roland garros. it's very unlikely that the same will happen in the men's draw though, rafa nadal is through to his third consecutive french open final, the king of clay knocked—out old rival roger federer in straight sets — inflicting federer‘s worst ever grand slam defeat. nadal will be going for an incredible 12th french open title on sunday. he'll play either novak djokovic or dominic thiem who'll complete their rain delayed match tomorrow. it was level at one set all — with thiem 3—1 up in the third. after being fastest in first practice in canada, lewis hamilton hit a wall in second practise ahead of sunday's f1 grand prix. the championship leader and six—time
11:56 pm
winner in montreal had to limp back to the pits with a puncture and damage to his mercedes after hitting the wall. ferrari's charles leclerc leads, followed by his teammate sebastien vettel. that's all the sport for now. the weather is not looking ideal on saturday, but it does depend whether you are a glass half full or empty kind of person. it will be very blustery across southern parts of the uk. karl forsman is expected across coasts and choppy seas. on top of that, lots of showers is to come as well. it is all because of this low pressure which has been battering parts of france, some disruptive winds. we have the rain initially across southern parts of the uk and then all of that bad weather shifted further towards the north. we have had thunderstorms, too. and report of a final cloud near taunton earlier on. the low pressure will be tracking northwards to the cause of the night. it is to
11:57 pm
the south we will see the strong winds. let us look at the forecast through the course of the evening. there is the low, around about now, the rain wrapping around the circulation. again, some heavy showers around. not so bad across the north of scotland. some clea ra nce the north of scotland. some clearance goes through the night. the winds will start to strengthen across southern areas into the early hours of saturday. initially around the coasts and then basically through the morning towards lunchtime it will become very blustery across southern parts of england, the midlands, probably as far north as lincolnshire as well. the kind of gusts we will get will be more reminiscent of autumn. possibly in excess of 50 mph on the south coast itself. andy goode a5 mph inland. which is really strong for the time of year. injune we don't really get strong gust of wind. further north and east you can see a lot of cloud, occasional showers. the western isles of scotla nd showers. the western isles of scotland enjoying some there.
11:58 pm
temperatures averaging 15—16. it does look as though later on saturday the weather will calm down. some of us it will be a decent and to the day. here is sunday's weather forecast. the low pressure is across the north sea moving across norway. the weather improves behind it. the wind is a lot later. more sunshine around. it is not going to be perfectly dry. there are showers in the forecast. again you can see some dotted around scotland, northern ireland, and some across western parts of the uk. central and eastern areas will be dry and bright is on sunday. next week it remains fairly cool and there are further showers on the way. bye—bye.
